solid, crisp, uniform roots that will catch any buyer’s eye. 
Scarlet Globe, XXX Strain. (Screened Seed.) This special selection, primarily 
for outdoor upland culture, is a de luxe strain and is designed to meet the most 
critical demand by outdoor Radish growers who want the very best and are willing

are uniform to the extreme. Try some of this strain this year.

scarlet, clean Radishes are very crisp and solid, and extremely uniform in size 
and shape. Tops are ideal. Matures 4 days before other strains, even outdoors.
